"Ahh......h......h

On the north bank of the Sui River, the breathing of the three thousand Wu Jia unconsciously quickened a little, although they were ready to die in battle, but when they really faced the enemy, they still couldn't stop a heart palpitation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking up, they could see a thousand paces away, countless black spikes undulating and waving in the sun near noon, merging into a torrent that pressed towards this direction. The horses' hooves trampled the ground with a rumbling sound, like a flash flood and a snow-capped mountain cracking.

Standing in front of the two rows of archers, Zhuan Kun looked at the Zhao cavalry rushing like angry waves, his pupils constricted slightly, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated! Because half of the cavalry went to raid Pi State, there were not many people chasing today, but only the charge of two thousand horsemen had such momentum, if the command of Zhuan Kun was not the most elite and brave rhino armor guards in the Wu army, I am afraid that they would not even have the courage to hold the spear and stand here.

"Formation, spear!"

Seeing that the cavalry was about to sweep in, Zhuan Kun also clenched Wu Ge and shouted to give military orders.

As the elite of the Wu army, the rhino guards were full-time warriors, and their training and experience were far beyond those of the conscripts who were busy on the paddy field fishing boats. Seeing the cavalry rushing in, they were not afraid, but shouted in unison, gathered each other, and condensed into a solid formation like a bronze jungle, and countless Changge stretched out from the front row of the large array, shining with a cold glow in the sun!

"Bow and arrow...... Hair! “

After the spear, there is also the strong bow! Countless strong bows were opened, and there was a sound of "tension", and the feather arrows slashed away like locusts, heading straight for the cavalry who were trying to sweep the formation!

The speed of the Zhao army's war horses had already rushed away, and it was still a formation of shocks, and this group of hundreds of horses formed a sharp shape, ready to pierce these stubborn Wu troops in the corner, and trample the barbarians who dared to stand in the way of the prince's banner into flesh with their horses' hooves. Who knew that they underestimated the courage and combat effectiveness of these Wu people, and many cavalry ran head-on into the dense clusters of arrows like flying locusts.

The sharp feather arrows penetrated the thick leather armor of the Zhao cavalry, but few of them turned over and fell off their horses! Although the armor in the world is the best with the armor of Wu Chu Water Rhino, Zhao Jun's leather armor is also carefully made of cowhide. Because the Pingzhun officials monopolized the trade of furs in the north, the materials were the best, and in the case of Zhao Wuxian's vigorous investment in the cavalry, some cavalry generals still had thick silk underwear in their leather armor, forming multiple composite protections. The end of the strong crossbow cannot be pierced, even if Wu Jun's feather arrows can penetrate the armor, the bow power has been exhausted, and it is difficult to cause fatal damage to the body within the armor.

"Spear, thorn!"

After firing the bow and shooting down the two horsemen, the carp gave the order again, and the spear slammed forward, ready for the next moment of violent collision.

However, seeing that the Wu people were not flustered by the impact, this group of Zhao horses, who were originally intended to be tentative, suddenly lowered the speed of their horses and began to go around to both sides, beating the horses and turning around.

"Tense ......" There was another bowstring sound, and the archers of the Wu army seized this opportunity and shot a second wave of feather arrows when Zhao Qi turned around! This time, there were significantly more cavalrymen who fell from their horses.

Zhao Qi had already given up this impact, and the wind also dispersed and retreated, and did not forcibly entangle with the Wu people in hand-to-hand combat, many of them were wounded by arrows, and left more than ten lying corpses of people and horses in the same place.

"Withstand!" The carp breathed a sigh of relief, the first assault of the enemy cavalry was unsuccessful, and retreated.

But that doesn't mean they can withstand the next time.

……

Seeing that the three hundred cavalry sent to test turned back, there were more than ten horsemen missing, and many people were injured, and the cavalry captain Zhao Jia's face was uncertain. The king's army was still two miles away, and he wanted to defeat these Wu people before they arrived, so that the army could cross the river to pursue the main force of the king of Wu, so Zhao Jia ordered an attack, but unexpectedly encountered an extremely difficult enemy.

In Zhao Jia's experience, a hundred horsemen walked away a thousand people, a thousand horsemen broke ten thousand, in this flat ancient plain grassland, the cavalry should have the advantage, he believed that even if the will of the people of Wu was as tough as iron, as long as the two thousand cavalry took turns to harass and attack, they would collapse sooner or later!

However, under Sun Wu's years of training, the Wu people's infantry phalanx was stricter than that of the Qin and Qi princes, and this group of 3,000 armor soldiers was well-equipped, wearing thick rhino leather armor, everyone carried swords, and they also held the best Wu Guojin Ge, and the bows and arrows were all strong bows.

This shows that these people are the elite of Wu Guoli and cannot be underestimated.

For the sake of prudence, Zhao Jia decided to give up fighting alone, wait a little longer, wait until the Chinese army foot soldiers arrived, and then cooperate with them to dominate the few.

But each branch of the army has its own pride, cavalry is the trump card of the Zhao army, Zhao Jia was praised by Zhao Wuxian as a "thousand miles of horses", even if he wants to retreat in the face of difficulties, he can't do nothing, sit back and watch the husband retreat successfully under his nose.

So Zhao Jia asked the three hundred cavalry to retreat and ordered: "Divide into several teams, one thousand people will roam around it and make trouble, and the other thousand will stand by on the left and right flanks, and if the enemy advances, cut it off!" ”

Zhao Guo's sudden cavalry is to break the enemy by rushing into formation, one can not break through, scattered like the wind, harassing from afar, chaotic enemy formation, forming a formation and then rushing! Instead of being old-fashioned and blindly attacking, now that the enemy is in formation, we should not take risks, but should induce them to make mistakes, ride around and slack the sentry, and fire a single arrow from time to time to make the enemy work.

Zhao Qi did this, which really made the people of Wu uncomfortable.

Although the Wu army was wearing thick rhino leather armor and a shield above their heads, and those fluttering riding bows could not cause much damage to them, Zhuan Kun knew that the calmer the enemy was, the more difficult their situation would be.

With the determination to die, these three thousand Wu Jia are not afraid of the enemy rushing to fight them, anyway, they are all death, and it is best to drag someone on their backs before death. However, the cunning Zhao Qi did not give them this opportunity, but only shot arrows from a distance, and once the Wu people tried to attack, they retreated like the wind into the distance.

It's not that the carp doesn't want to cover up, but the cavalry deployed on both flanks by General Zhao, who commands this cavalry, has been waiting for their formation to disperse! What the Wu people can rely on now is their own phalanx, if it is chaotic, Zhao Qi only needs one charge, and he can break the Wu people's army formation without the protection of Changge's big shield! Wu Jia, who was scattered on the battlefield to chase the enemy, couldn't help the cavalry rush.

"Even if we don't give the enemy a chance, as long as we drag it until Zhao Hou's main force arrives, we will be slaughtered after all." Zhuan Carp shook his head slightly, his thick eyebrows were already twisted into a ball, they were not afraid of death, they were afraid of not buying enough time for the king, and not killing enough enemy soldiers.

At this moment, the earth-shattering drum suddenly swept in, Zhuan Xiu looked up in amazement, a Xuanniao banner was coming down from the ancient plain, around it, tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers were marching in formation, Zhao Wuxian was preparing to use the absolute superiority of the force to crush the three thousand Wu armor on the shore into powder......

"We won't be able to hold ...... for a moment," the carp sighed, and the wind blew from behind, making the tassels on his crest shake.

Wait, the wind?

Although the wind was not strong, far from the extent that the flying sand and rocks made the enemy squint, it was blowing all the time, blowing the withered yellow grass blades on the ancient plain under his feet and swaying gently......

He reached for the flint bag around his waist and cracked his mouth out laughing, a hint of madness in his smile.

Wu Jia, who was beside him, looked back at the carp in surprise, not knowing what the coach was happy about.

Until he had laughed enough, he took out the flint on his waist and asked loudly: "Second and third sons, are you willing to fight for the king?" “

……

"It's really worthy of the rhinoceros guard......"

Zhao Jia commanded two thousand cavalry to constantly sweep the formation and shoot arrows to disturb the nuisance, but the people of Wu were very patient, as if they were learning the turtle in the river, and they had been hiding behind the big shield and were indifferent, and occasionally the frizzy ones couldn't stand the provocation and rushed out, and they were soon ordered to return to his rightful position. The other party didn't give him a chance at all, and Zhao Jia couldn't help but admire in desperation, this was indeed a tough opponent that Zhao Jun had never encountered.

It really can't be done, so I can only wait for the army to arrive, surround it and shoot ten thousand arrows, and then cover it up when the enemy has suffered heavy casualties, and slaughter it all, Zhao Jia does not regret it, the real use of the cavalry is still to cross the river to pursue Fucha.

"What are Wu people doing?"

Unexpectedly, just when the army behind them was about to arrive, after a short time, the Wu people suddenly gave up their holdings, and they changed their formations, some of them moved forward with shields, and the other part of them trotted to both sides.

"The enemy is defeated?" Zhao Jia didn't have time to rejoice, but he saw that the Wu people who were scattered were holding smoking torches in their hands!

"Not good!" Stretching out his hand to feel the direction of the wind, Zhao Jia's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly ordered: "The Wu people want to set fire, and the cruising riders will press up quickly to stop them!" “

……

In Sun Wu's art of war, weather, terrain, mountains, grass and trees, all things can be used as auxiliary in war, and among them, water and fire are the most useful.

When he was in the state of Wu, he once taught the son of Zhuan Zhu's "fire attack" chapter, at that time Zhuan Kun was sleepy to listen to it, and when he really set foot on the battlefield, he found that he benefited a lot.

At this moment, what the carp is holding in his hand is a torch lit with flint wrapped around his clothes!

Sun Tzu said: There are five kinds of objectives in a fire attack: one is to burn the enemy's men and horses, the second is to burn the enemy's grain and grass accumulation, the third is to burn the enemy's baggage, the fourth is to burn the enemy's warehouses, and the fifth is to burn the enemy's transportation facilities. Now what the crucian plans to do is to be a "fire man".

The so-called favorable time refers to the dry weather and the right wind direction.

Now it is the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the grass and trees are gradually drying up and yellowing, the whole ancient plain is a piece of bronze, and the wind direction is also blowing to the north, when the torch in the hand of the carp touches the withered yellow grass blades, it is almost immediately on fire,

Tiny flames scurried over the water-scarce hay, like swift red mice. The small flames grew larger and then spread to the surrounding area. The flames swirled and writhed, chasing each other, and when they were blown by the wind, they spread northward, and soon turned into a raging fire.

Sun Tzu's fire attack art of war, the main purpose is to attack the word, but the carp let everyone set fire for a few days, but it was for a word.

The cavalry of the Zhao army, which had been cruising on the opposite side, seemed to sense the Wu people's intentions, and they rushed over to try to stop them, and some of the Wu armor who had run away to set fire were stabbed through with spears or cut off in the head by the ring head knife. But a little closer to the riverbank, the fire started with the wind, and it was already in full swing. Hundreds of Zhao cavalry tried to rush over and drive the Wu people down the river, but in front of the scorching wall of fire, the horse's eyes showed fear, stopped the horse's hooves, and did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

Although the war horse is domesticated, it is a beast after all, and if it is a beast, it will definitely be afraid of fire, and the place where the fire started is already unbearably hot......

"Flinching!" Looking at the retreating horses and the angry cavalry on the saddle, the carp stood in the smoke and dust and laughed, with a hint of pride and madness.

Therefore, when Zhao Wuxian's army arrived, there were not only 3,000 Wu Jia in front of them, but also a raging fire that had become a prairie fire......

……

"This fire is ......"

In Zhao Wuxian's eyes, the Ancient Plains Grassland had now become a purgatory, and the spreading flames were like a group of roaring beasts. They spat out long tongues of fire, half a foot high, frantically searching for everything they could devour, dead grass, shrubs, woods. There were even Wu people who accidentally fell into the fire, and the flames quickly surrounded them, and their clothes and armor were on fire, and in an instant, they seemed to be wearing flying fire clothes, wisps of gray smoke came out of their bodies, and the screams were endless.

As the fire spread, the smoke became thicker and thicker, and the wind blew northward, and the cavalry did not dare to rush into the fire, so they could only cough and retreat.

"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, and he failed to prevent the husband from crossing the river...... Zhao Jia also came to report to him.

Zhao Wuxian shook his head: "I don't blame you, I also lost the right time and place, and the people of Wu dared to use fire to stop our army." ”

Seeing that the flame was rising, waving its huge and fiery red wings, and the strong wind of purgatory was blowing, and the banner of Zhao Wuxian's Chinese army was also blown to the ground, but fortunately, the wind speed was not too large, and the fire did not spread rapidly to the entire ancient plain.

But after all, the grassland of the ancient plains is very wide, and while letting people go to dig a separation zone in front of the army, they also estimated the scale of the flames, and sighed: "I'm afraid that this fire will have to burn for a while and a half, let the army be careful to dodge, and Hugh will be caught in the fire." ”

Not only horses, but also people have a natural fear of flames, and they dare not get too close, but if they just watch the dead soldiers of the enemy army break off and leave, they are afraid that it will hurt their morale too much......

Zhao Wuxian's tiger eyes swept over the generals of the Chinese army waiting for orders, and said lightly: "In fact, this fire seems to be violent, but in fact it is just a wall of fire, the dry grass is not comparable to the mountains and forests, and through the wall of fire, it is the scorched white ground, and those who are afraid are just a temporary burning pain." “

He sighed suddenly: "The grandson has a saying, and he treats the pawn like a baby, so he can go to the deep stream with him; Treat the pawn as a beloved son, so he can die with him. The husband killed loyal ministers indiscriminately, and he was greedy and profitable, but there were still many strong men who died for him, and they did not hesitate to set themselves on fire. The widow asks himself that he has always been kind to the generals, and regards the soldiers as his own children, and in the army, he also eats and wears the same clothes with the soldiers, I don't know if there are any people in the army who are willing to go to the soup for the widows? “

"I want to go!"

"The minister is also willing to go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, almost every general of the army rushed to be the vanguard of the fire.

As long as there is this spiritual qi, Zhao Wuxian nodded with satisfaction, and after glancing at everyone, he named one person.

"Qi Wan."

Qi Wan, a loyal Song countryman, immediately came out: "The minister is here!" “

"The Wu people have a well-armed formation, and they are invincible in foot combat, so you will defeat them today, enter the fire field, and fight against a strong enemy, is there a problem?"

"Dare not die for the king!" Qi Wan didn't say much, and immediately went to his phalanx after receiving the order, waiting for him was a group of armor soldiers sitting on the ground and waiting.

Qi Wan glanced at the thousand people in front of him, although they were few in number, they were all wrapped in dark armor, neatly wearing helmets, wearing heavy iron armor, and in their hands were not spears, but a round shield and a ring-headed knife more than three feet long.

This is a special class of troops in Zhao Wushu, after ten years of development, Zhao's iron armor manufacturing technology has been more mature, and the efficiency is also much higher, in the interval of the war, from Yecheng Handan and other places of iron workshops continue to produce, so that the Zhao army equipped with iron armor increased from three hundred to one thousand.

Zhao Wuxian gathered them together and handed them over to Commander Qi Wan, and the name of this army was the Iron Armor Army!

The ironclad army is dressed in iron armor, all of them are strong, after standing up, like a mountain, they can give full play to the "immovable like a mountain" of Zhao Wushu's heavy infantry, and impact the enemy formation like a giant beast trampling, its momentum is no less than that of cavalry.

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while." Qi Wan spoke very slowly, so that all the soldiers could hear him.

"There was an opportunity today, a chance to be a striker, to open the way for you. The fire seems to be big, but in fact it is just a narrow wall, you will not die if you follow the fire, but you need enough courage, the king said, the ironclad army is the courage of the Zhao army! ”

"I am willing to die for the king!" One by one, Zhao Wushu, who was wearing iron armor, raised his chest, proud of it.

Qi Wan nodded with satisfaction and said: "The armor of the Wu Kingdom is in front, after the fire, they boast that they are invincible in foot combat, and today we will let the people of the world know that it is no longer Wu Jia who is invincible in foot combat, but Zhao Jun, and it is the Iron Armor Army!" “

He raised his fist high, took his head, and shouted out loudly the slogan of the Iron Armor Army, the slogan that Zhao Wuxian had personally selected for them.

"Iron Armor!"

A thousand soldiers shouted in unison, and the momentum overshadowed the flames in the wind.

"Iron armor! It's still there! ”
